Regarding Neal-Bullen I have spoke extensively with another teams recruiting manager and he thought "Neal-Bullen was the steal of the draft" Kid is a running machine, very teachable and perfectly suited as an inside mid able to run both ways all day.

ANB has had some slight injury concerns over the pre-season. His knee felt unstable very early on and the club put him into re-hab. He tweaked his groin in Qld and missed all bar the last session up t

Similar to the info I got, we were looking at Oscar Mc at ANB's pick , but couldn't believe he was still there and grabbed him

TDI, while I'm glad we got Osc, that line "we couldn't believe he was still there" seems to be a stock saying by Melbourne recruiters year in year out.

I think I may have heard it first when Jack Fitzpatrick was picked up late!

However, from reports around the traps (big footy) ANB was well regarded before the draft.

I look forward to following his and Oscar's progress during the year.

Yes you are right, but tis time I asked because I was given a cliché, word was ANB was 'supposed' to go in top 25 along with Oscar himself, club was genuinely surprised both were still there but went with ANB first and the way the draft was unfolding, were confident Osc would still be there at 53, as an aside Tommy Mc told me best he was hoping for at draft time was rookie spot, ah the draft it is a mysterious thing

Interview demonstrates he is clearly a very smart guy, I mean he basically describes off the cuff his entire recovery program in detail, and I actually learned something! I also remember watching his draft footage and he even though he didn't have any major highlights, he just look so composed and natural in everything he did, which got me really excitied.

Saw this kid play on the weekend.

Dee supporters should be very very excited if he continues his form up. Thought along with Michie he was quite clean in the choppy conditions. He is also a tough little terrier like Jack Viney and a couple of times I saw him dish out a couple of push and shove on the more experience mids for Sandy.

Glad to hear that ANB had a blinder today. He has been building some solid over the last couple of weeks.

Remember watching him against Sandy and i thought he was our best player on the day with Michie. In windy conditions he was so clean with the ball and was really aggressive as well.

Part of me wants him to debut next week but also another part says leave to develop at Casey. We saw last year when Salem had a 32 disposal game and debut the week after so who knows?

Thoughts?

No rush but he's had a fair crack.

He played two games with the development team, debuted in the senior Casey side in round 3 against Essendon, and has played in round 4, 5, 6, and 8 (round 7 was the bye). With 5 solid games at VFL level he's gotta be in contention.

If Tyson wasn't an automatic inclusion next week then ANB might be at the top of the list. If Collingwood belt us expect changes, and 3-4 changes sees ANB in the side.

If we win or get close, ANB probably plays another week at casey.

Pretty fair summation I would say.

Go Dees. A murder of magpies has a great ring to it and would also obviate any temptation to rush him in.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
